Just changed my diesel fuel filter today, very easy. Some fuel did leak out of the pipes when taking them off but I filled the new filter with fuel before connecting it up and the engine started as normal . No bleeding required 2002 T4 2.5 TDI .
Dislike, because he disregards VW's "5 rules" for cleanliness when working on the diesel system! He doesn't clean the connectors and area surrounding the old diesel filter... He even leaves the main connector down in the dirt...! Also, the new diesel filter should have been filled full of diesel (clean as possible, as this amount will go straight to the pump unfiltered). With an empty filter the diesel pump will suck air for some time before it gets diesel...this is bad as the pump is very high pressure, delicate and expensive, and it needs diesel to lubricate itself.
Thank you for your comment! We are grateful for your valuable remark. We will take it into consideration in our next tutorial. Stay tuned our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Great video but as others have said should have shown filling the new filter up the the brim with fresh diesel as you can have major problems otherwise.👌
Thank you for your feedback! Your remark is absolutely reasonable. This part of our video has been overlooked. Diesel filters should be filled with fuel when replacing, air shouldn`t get into the fuel system. We take all the errors into consideraion in order to make our videos better and more informative. The hose you can see around the fuel filter is just a modification of the vehicle owner, so we can`t tell what this hoes does.

Thank you for your request! There are multiple reasons which could casue the loss of power, therefore, we highly recommend you use a professional car workshop to have a close look into this issue and locate the fault. Best Regards, Autodoc Team
This video contains only tips and tricks that may be useful when performing vehicle repairs or replacing parts. The design of the fuel system varies. Sometimes the manufacturer provides for complete bleeding of air from the system. If the system opens to allow air in, it must be expelled, and it makes no difference whether the filter was full or empty. This is what the manufacturer provides. In other cars, you can change the filter without the laborious work of releasing air, since the design has a hand pump or a pump pedal that removes air. Therefore, you should read a book on repairing your car before replacing parts.
@@autodocuk I just looked at the Haines Manual video and they don't bleed the fuel system. They just start the engine , run at idle for a few seconds , rev up to 2000ppm a couple of times , idle again . and that's it. They did say it might take a few extra seconds to start the engine initially.
woah!! Cowboy! You don't use the end of your screwdriver against the side of the hose to try to push it off!!! I stopped watching at that point and went looking for someone who knows what they are doing!!

The fuel indikator of my T4 1998 Gasoline not work, how to fix it?
Could be the sender on the fuel pump or your gauge circuit board
I also had these problem with my T4 Camper,...i changed the sender,...and the problem was solved.
It would have been good to show us how to bleed the fuel system .
We will try to record such a video in the nearest future.
